Deep Blue Sea

Best action movie

I do not understand the ratings for movies in general, and feel like they're being influenced by something or some group of people, and the ratings on IMDB are not much different. Groundhog Day (another movie in the same decade, roughly) has a higher rating than this, when Ground Hog Day had a lower initial box office sales than Deep Blue Sea (Deep Blue Sea made almost 2-3x what Groundhog Day did at the box office). Maybe it just goes to show how film preference and liking changes over time, but Deep Blue Sea is MUCH better than Ground Hog Day, even though they're different types of movies, and even though GHD is more liked now.

*** Starring: Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows, LL Cool J, and Samuel L. Jackson. A sea institution is testing a pill that can be the solution to Alzheimer's Disease. Guess who they're testing it on. Yep, sharks. The sharks break loose when a storm occurs that practically sinks the place. The remaining people inside must find a way to get out of the place before becoming a mere snack for the sharks. This film is horribly bloody. People get violently dismembered, beheaded, halved, and many other stuff. The film is still a fast-paced thriller that kept me watching it. I recommend this movie to those that can tolerate gore.

It's an amazing movie filled with action and suspense.There is a lot of jumpscares and terrifying kills.

I really enjoyed this movie.There is nothing really special about the special effects, the story or the acting, but it's the thrill that kept me watching. Pros: Adrenaline rush, great music and sound Cons: Acting of some of the characters, some bad visual effects, storyline, script, Overall I give this movie 61/100

This is a stupid attempt to start a new "Jaws" type franchise and one big stinky fish of a movie! Instead of the movie taking place on a beach community terrorized by a shark it revolves in an underwater compound. Scientists trying to find a cure for alziemers by creating their own breed of sharks and using fluid from the shark's brains. As a side effect the sharks become amazingly smart and fast. While humans need to be "taught" in order to "learn" apparently these sharks are "psychic" too as it makes no sense how they could figure out the things they do in this horrible "B" horror flick! To make matters worse, the sharks look like rubber toys when they jump out the water! This movie so stupid that the running time of 104 minutes seemed like "eternity." It also wastes the talents of Samuel Jackson and L.L. Cool J. Don't waste your time.

Deep Blue Sea won't top Jaws as the number one shark film, but it does provide some good thrills. Sharks that have been altered start making meals out of their human doctors. They swim fast, they chomp fast and they are mean. The cast is good, and they are slowly whittled down as the sharks navigate their way through a sinking underwater lab. There are tense moments and Renny Harlin pulls them off nicely. Deep Blue Sea is a good movie to watch as a release from work or whatever other activity may bring you stress. Good action escapism.

Renny Harlin does it again--Another excellent film of his from the 1990's. This could be his best. It is not just the sharks that are the star of this fast-moving film, it is many other things--The excellent acting by the cast(with the exception of LLCoolJ who is likable but can't act), the CGI Sharks,the great musical score, and the amazing sets of this film make you really feel the claustrophobia, and the constant menace of the sharks and the water everywhere, adding to the fear of drowning as well' This is an exciting film with many surprises, and you will have a fun time watching it

Deep Blue Sea (1999, Dir. Renny Harlin) Believing she almost has the cure for Alzheimer's disease, Dr. Susan McCallister (Burrows) invites Russell Franklin (Jackson) with the hope that he would invest her and the research. The research is taking placed on an isolated facility in the middle of the ocean with the test subjects being Mako sharks. What was supposed to be a visit for Russell Franklin turns into something more, when the sharks flood the facility and hunt down the team, and thanks to the team, the sharks are now more smarter than ever. It had a great concept and starts off great, but unfortunately turns into your typical shark film with predictable deaths and terrible CGI. Even with these faults, the film is still very enjoyable, which is helped by a decent cast. We're this close to the reactivation of a human brain cell. – Dr. Susan McCallister (Saffron Burrows)

An excellent film with a shark theme, it knows very well how to transmit the tension in the scenes they need, the CGI, no matter how good it is, this is due to the time the film was made, its plot is simple, the performances are great, they know how to show panic when they need it, the soundtrack and the scenarios are great. The Samuel L Jackson death scene takes you by surprise, the kitchen scene and the scene in which Dr. Susan kills the second generation 1 female brings an absurd tension! And the best scene without a doubt is the death of Dr Susan. The film buys its goal when it comes to entertainment and suspense. Film seen on the 24th to the 25th of December 2020.
